-
4.00 Credits
4 hours The second of a two-course sequence that examines the structure and reactivity of compounds containing carbon. Topics include the reactivity of aromatic hydrocarbons and molecules containing the carbonyl functional group; parallels between the behavior of these compounds and biomolecules are illustrated. Emphasis is placed on reaction mechanisms and the design of multi-step organic syntheses. Three lectures per week, one three-hour lab per week. Prerequisite: CHEM 241. (NWL, W)
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours An introduction to the chemistry of the four major classes of biological molecules: proteins, sugars, lipids, and nucleic acids. The relationship between the functional roles of these molecules and their structure and reactivity will be examined using the chemical principles mastered in the prerequisite courses of general chemistry and the first semester of organic. This course will fulfill the one-semester biochemistry prerequisite of typical health professional programs. Prerequisite: CHEM 241.
-
2.00 Credits
2 hours A detailed look at the instrumentation and applications of optical spectroscopy associated with chemical analyses. Topics will include molecular and atomic absorption, fluorescence, NMR, and IR spectrometries, as well as selected advanced spectroscopic techniques. Prerequisite: CHEM 241.
-
2.00 Credits
2 hours A detailed look at methods of separation and electroanalytical techniques including GC, HPLC, MS, SFC, potentiometry, amperometry, and voltammetry. Prerequisite: CHEM 202 and CHEM 241 or consent of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours This course is the second of a two-course sequence in biochemistry and includes both lecture and laboratory components. In lecture, the chemical mechanisms of some advanced metabolic and signaling pathways, including secondary metabolism, proteomics, and lipidomics, will be presented. In addition, the theoretical principles underlying many experimental techniques for the isolation and characterization of biological molecules will be presented to support projects done in the lab. The laboratory experience will emphasize multi-week experiments involving cell culture, protein purification, cellular lipid metabolism, and immunochemical methods of analysis. Prerequisites: CHEM 242 and CHEM 301.
-
2.00 Credits
2 hours An introduction to the area of chemistry involving the rates at which chemical reactions occur. Topics will include classical kinetics, kinetics of fast reactions, and enzyme kinetics. Prerequisites: CHEM 152 or CHEM 201, MATH 152.
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours An introduction to the formalism of quantum mechanics through the core quantum mechanical models of the particle in the box, the harmonic oscillator, the rigid rotor, and the hydrogen atom. Applications of these models are then made to describe various types of spectroscopy used to study chemical systems. Prerequisites: MATH 152; PHYS 181, 182 (or PHYS 151, 152); or consent of instructor.
-
2.00 Credits
2 hours Mathematical treatment of the fundamental laws of thermodynamics and how those laws govern chemical and physical changes. Prerequisites: CHEM 152 or CHEM 201, MATH 152, PHYS 181, 182 (or PHYS 151, 152).
-
2.00 Credits
2 hours A laboratory introduction to various types of spectroscopy and separation techniques and how they are used in the chemistry laboratory. Techniques will include UV/VIS, IR, fluorescence, and NMR spectroscopy, and liquid and gas phase chromatography. Prerequisites: CHEM 202, 242.
-
2.00 Credits
2 hours A laboratory introduction to the study of the energetics and rates of chemical reactions. Prerequisites: CHEM 202, 242.
